I don't know how big their channel is, but my guess is the payout from Youtube would be closer to $250 than 25 million.I mean, if someone said $25M to hold two phonebooks and take a shotgun blast, I think a lot of people would take that risk, but a .50 is suicide, even if it didn't penetrate.
She should be charged with manslaughter. She should also be sterilized.
they should just let her off. seems she's already been punished enough. and no reason why the kids ought to pay for their parents bad decisions :/
just another example why they need guns off the street, cause people think their toys... their not ;_; want a gun? get a hunting rifle go hunting in the woods for deer
correction. has a kid, and another is on the day. thats even more tragic :/
i still have no idea what he was thinking. a desert eagle aim at book at your chest (probably watch too much movies...)..... was this guy on crack or something?
Yeah, and end up like Britain were honest people can't defend themselves against psychotics. How's that workin out for Britain? People will find ways of killing each other regardless. Its the mental illness that nobody wants to talk about. The gun didn't kill this person, the person behind the trigger did.
That's a nice idea but the statistics don't really bear it out. Out of the tens of thousands of gun related deaths in the US every year, only about 300 are cases of self defense.
So what are guns actually used for? Suicide mostly. With spousal murder coming in a distant second. But it's a lot easier to sell guns based on Dirty Harry fantasies, rather than the reality which is that you'll probably use it blow your brains out or kill your wife.
Australia has not had a mass shooting since they rounded up all the guns.
When did you attend your last Well Regulated Militia meeting.

It's also a statistic that 99.9% of liberal surveys are made up liberal bullshit.

The ranges make a lot of their money from renting guns to people—those are the people you really have to watch out for. Like the time we rented a Ruger handgun to this woman. After I turned my back to her, she put the gun behind her ear and blew a nice, clean, round hole through the center of her head. I didn’t really feel anything at the time. At first it was disbelief, and then I thought, “Oh, I’ve got to take care of stuff.” Different guys handle it differently. I know a guy who quit right after something like this happened.
Our standard operating procedure when this happens is to call a cease-fire. Then we clear the range so that nobody is in any danger. Then sometimes you’d go up and, if it’s safe to do so, you’d kick the gun out. I still remember this: The manager at the time wound up putting gloves on and plugging the side of her head with his fingers. I’m thinking, “This isn’t going to do a whole lot. She’s toast, dude.” Not to be callous about it, but she was dead. Her eyes were flapping, there was nothing there.
Gun ranges often have policies that require anyone who rents a gun to be accompanied by a friend. It’s supposed to be a way to prevent suicides, but it doesn’t always work very well. Eventually the range started paying a service to come pick up the bodies and scrub everything. But before that happened, Christ, what was it? Bleach and kitty litter. I remember one time I had come in for a shift change and there was a pool of blood. We didn’t have any bleach but we did have some kitty litter. I remember using that to soak up the blood. And because we didn’t have the bleach, some of my members were kind enough to go across the street to the grocery store and buy some. In hindsight, we had no protocols, we had no protective suits. I could have exposed myself to blood-borne pathogens.

The problem with this is that the gun is is designed to kill people and if you use it correctly, you will kill people. The other uses are not as intended by the designer/manufacture.
I was quoting the FBI who keeps statistics on gun related deaths. There around 33k every year in the US, and 19k are typically suicides. Around 300 cases are self defense. That's less than 1% of cases.
I'm not even a liberal or particularly anti-gun. Just pointing out that the stats don't support owning a gun for self defense. It's an extremely rare use case.
The main use for guns by far is suicide.
Own a gun if you want. But know that you are about 60 times more likely to use it to kill yourself than to kill bad guys. Or you can rent. Lots of people walk into gun ranges, rent guns, then use them to blow their own heads off. Don't believe me, look it up. Or just talk to some guys who work at gun ranges.
The problem with this is that the gun is is designed to kill people and if you use it correctly, you will kill people. The other uses are not as intended by the designer/manufacture.
And for crying out loud, if you want a gun for self defense, get a shotgun with a large shot size. You don't have to worry about aiming, just point and fire. Plus if you are out of ammo, you can always use it to beat the bad guy to death with it. Also if you carry it around in public, bad guys are less likely to fuck with you, seeing as they know you have a gun (as apposed to concealing one).
Well, this clearly demonstrates the need to disarm law abiding citizens, obviously. Someone call on Bloomberg and the Democrats to introduce the Ruiz Memorial Law for Gun Safety bill, I mean, it's only common sense.
Lets not forget they will place this on the list of reason to "ban all guns". You can't fix stupid. Even with warnings.......It took both of them to be that stupid. Should she really be punished for his part in this really stupid stunt?
Mind boggling how it didn't occur to either of them to try it out on just the book first.
Either way, I guess we have two less morons in society now. I may sound cold here but I have no sympathy for this level of shortsightedness.

The intended use of a pressure cooker is to cook food under pressure so the cook time is faster......if you buy a pressure cooker now you come up flagged because of the use in IED's. Does that justify the fear of pressure cookers?The problem with this is that the gun is is designed to kill people and if you use it correctly, you will kill people. The other uses are not as intended by the designer/manufacture.

If someone hits you with a car as you cross the road do you blame the car? No you blame the driver. Stop blaming the tool.
I can't imagine that they didn't try this without him behind it first? Who would not test the idea before actually attempting the "stunt." I would also wear body armor behind the book as a safety measure even if it was a money making stunt.
If only we could convince more idiots to try this.
Yeah like Trump!
.22 bullets are small diameter and fast velocity. Might be surprised what they can penetrate. A 9mm or .45 caliber would have been better for that idiot stunt actually. Especially if hollow point. At least the book would have captured it.Probably should have tried it with the .22 first...
Actually I would put partial blame on the car. If the tool is a contributing factor to the death then it has some blame, the only question is how much blame. Tools are enablers. Sometimes if you don't have the tool, you can't preform the action.If someone hits you with a car as you cross the road do you blame the car? No you blame the driver. Stop blaming the tool.
How can you take that seriously?!!? How is an inanimate object at blame? Its not able to think, move, or even start without human interaction. Its pointed and manipulated only under control of an animate being. Sole responsibility is placed on that being for the control over it.........WTF man? If i smahed someone head on concrete is the sidewalk at blame for me smashing someones head on it?!Actually I would put partial blame on the car. If the tool is a contributing factor to the death then it has some blame, the only question is how much blame. Tools are enablers. Sometimes if you don't have the tool, you can't preform the action.
While I hate to play Devil's advocate... oh hell who am I kidding I LOVE to do it.If someone hits you with a car as you cross the road do you blame the car? No you blame the driver. Stop blaming the tool.
And if the brakes failed because said manufacturer felt that dealing with the lawsuits is cheaper than a recall of a faulty part?How can you take that seriously?!!?

Um what country are you from an unlicened driver is not allowed to drive a vehicle.....and in this case the parents are to blame because they let a 3 yr old in the vicinity for a running car without supervision.....While I hate to play Devil's advocate... oh hell who am I kidding I LOVE to do it.
If a 3 year old child hits you with a car because there are no laws that prohibit children from driving a car, do we blame the driver? or the lack of rules that prohibit this action in the first place because obviously people aren't always going to make smart decisions.
We are talking malicious intent not accidents.And if the brakes failed because said manufacturer felt that dealing with the lawsuits is cheaper than a recall of a faulty part?
ok ok... I should be working here not having fun
the arguments typically proposed against firearm ownership are not to completely disarm people. Just to remove weapons of mass destruction (i.e. firearms that can kill 100 people in 2 minutes).Well, this clearly demonstrates the need to disarm law abiding citizens, obviously. Someone call on Bloomberg and the Democrats to introduce the Ruiz Memorial Law for Gun Safety bill, I mean, it's only common sense.
This is what gets me, if they owned a DE I'm sure they've probably fired it at a range or outside at some point. Surely they've shot a watermelon or two and should have easily recognized the incredibly power this gun has. To think a mere phonebook would stop a round like that is ludicrous. That phone book probably disintegrated and has a grapefruit sized hole in his chest. There was no question whether a book could stop that bullet. You'd literally have to have no concept of firearms at all, never shot one, and just bought a DE from a gun store and fired it for the first time.Did he really expect to walk away without injuries even if death was avoided? Or was he actually suicidial and just used his GF as instrument of his suicide because he could not pull the trigger himself?
